Assuming you are using PC keyboards with all the normal keys on them, you could try using PuTTY as it has a couple of keyboard layout options when working with either VMS systems or editors with a EDT keypad option. The only keypad key I don't have available when using an editor in EDT keyboard mode is "delete word" which I never used anyway.
